I am writing to you today to try to show you why we should be teaching American Sign Language in schools. It is a county/school district matter, which means each separate county chooses what languages are taught as classes, but I believe that you (the National Government) should try to push American Sign Language as a foreign language little more. ASL is very important, it makes it easier to communicate with people that are hearing-impaired. ASL isn’t random hand gestures or charades, it is an…

hearing same as hearing people. Holcomb states, “There is no hard and fast line between deaf and hard-of-hearing people in the Deaf community” (Holcomb 46). Karen is excited to be a part of the Deaf community and because she is willing to learn American Sign Language fluently I believe she will be easily accepted in the Deaf community. However there are some requirements stated in the book that Holcomb said must be satisfied to be comfortable in the Deaf community. In the chapter Holcomb…

How does this force then apply to those who fall outside the norm, who deviate from the expected situation? The research I have conducted, altogether shows that the teaching of sign language- through the use of narrative storytelling, and trained teachers- creates awareness for deaf children to feel accepted and understood. Furthermore, the teaching and training of these deaf children allows them to be socialized so that they…

issue that deaf people are to face. Nonetheless, they keep up the optimistic appearance and do their best to exude self-confidence. In spite of their hearing disorder, these people are proud to be deaf. Moreover, they tend to resort to the American Sign Language in order to communicate freely. In my opinion, the videos under discussion succeeded at pointing out the chief aspects of deaf people’s lives and emphasizing the attitude that should be kept…

Sign language can trace back to 1541, when the Plains Indians developed their own form of sign language to be able to communicate with tribes who spoke different languages (“American sign language,” 2017). Although sign language was used by the Plains Indians, it was not until the 19th century that other places started to develop and acquire sign language. A few places including Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts acquired the language. Martha’s Vineyard sign language (MVSL) become frequently used…

American Sign Language, though it has only been recognized as a language for a short amount of time, is a language with a vast history and learning it comes with many benefits. According to Hakim, in 1620, sign language was overhauled when Juan Pablo de Bonet wrote and published his first book on it, which led to the formation of today’s sign languages. However, we can assume there has always been some form of sign language (2016). Daniels (2016) wrote, “For children just entering the classroom…

watching sign language, anyone can tell you how expressive the language is and how beautiful the words simply flow from hand to hand, to each facial expression and gesture. Sign language is a beautiful gift that can be given to anyone, if they just took the time to learn it. Parents who know sign language and pass this down to their children in the infancy stage of their lives are benefiting their offspring more than they know. By teaching hearing, not only deaf, infants and toddlers sign…

As a hearing individual who had no interaction with the Deaf community prior to enrolling in American Sign Language courses at the University of Pittsburgh, I previously had essentially no knowledge or understanding of Deaf culture. Gradually, I have increased my knowledge and awareness of Deaf culture and the Deaf community, but I have much more to learn because but there are always questions about Deaf culture and community that I still do not know the answer to. For Hearing People Only by…

American Sign Language (ASL) is the way that people who are deaf can communicate with each other and the rest of the world. American Sign Language has evolved over time and is no longer only used by those who are deaf. It is commonly used for people who are hard of hearing, completely deaf, people with autism and Down syndrome and other disabilities. Many parents have begun to use sign language with their babies so that the child will be able to talk before they are able to actually talk using…
